From the New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education
comes the eighth and penultimate volume of the Temeraire series, in
which Will Laurence finds himself shipwrecked in Japan with no memory of
his dragon, Temeraire, or his past.
"A first-class entry in a remarkable and appealing series." --Kirkus
Reviews (starred review)
This alternate version of the Napoleonic War--with dragons!--ramps up as
the eighth and penultimate Temeraire novel takes us to Japan, where a
shattered Captain Laurence is washed up on the shores remembering
nothing of his past save as the captain of the navy ship Reliant. He
struggles to remember why he is in Japan and why he has a startling
knowledge of the Chinese language. He has no memory whatever of his
dragon, Temeraire--which distresses Temeraire greatly when they are
finally reunited. But so great is their bond that the two once again
find themselves at the forefront of the war against Napoleon . . . just
when all looks most hopeless.
